In 1959, the Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin developed the modern three-point seat belt. Although the design was patented, the company decided the patent was to be left open, making it available to all vehicle manufacturers to use for free. Within five years of its introduction, three-point belts became standard in cars throughout Europe and the U.S.
